Okay, I can accept this.  But if the trireme is stuck in a square that
it cannot escape from, does it not make more sense for it to be sunk?
Right now it is left in a confusing state that leaves the end user
baffled as how to get out of it.  I suggest (if it's possible) to  leave
the existing rules intact, but losing triremes instead of leaving them
stuck in place.

Cheers,
